The True Believer

  • The civilized build shelters and invite God to stay with them; disciples move with God wherever He chooses to go.
  • The civilized Christian has a routine; the disciple of Jesus has a mission.
  • The civilized believer knows the letter of the law; the serious disciple lives the spirit of the law. 
  • The religiously civilized love tradition, the discipleship spirit loves challenges.
  • The civilized are satisfied with ritual; disciples live and thrive in the mystical. 
  • For the civilized, religion provides stability and certainty; for the disciple, a life in God is one of risk and ministry.
